24 February 2016

Fourth Wednesday Feb.

Very warm grey day no breeze, but small air movement from all points of the compass.
Kim brought out his re-built FW 190, looks beautiful.


 Everybody was interested to see it and find out about the new engine, which has not yet been fired up.
The cowl had to be removed for some reason before starting, revealing the ballast needed in absence of a great big radial engine.

It's a petrol glo engine by Mr OS called a GGT15.

























Unfortunately it is a Two Stroke which is absolutely wrong in my humble (slightly biased) opinion.
Should be a Four Stroke. Sounds better.
Of course the plan was originally designed for one of those wonderful Electric Motors which would have been even better, but Kim couldn't help himself and put in this engine.  Fortunately it is fairly quiet considering it is a infernal combustion device.
Neat heli muffler fits well within the cowl. 
Looks better.
I am looking forward to seeing it in the air where it belongs.
